surprised everyone by producing a relatively fast car at the season
opener in Melbourne. It was the fastest car through the speed
traps but was slow through corners, there for did not move
significantly up the grid.
the team was probably
the most improved in the pit lane in terms of the advancements they
had made. However as the season progressed they were in
positions to secure podiums, and were let down by reliability.
Pedro De La Rosa was
surprisingly replaced in February by new comer Enrique Bernoldi. De
La Rosa moved to Prost as a test driver, but quickly left for the
better funded Jaguar Team. He took his place on the grid in
Spain.
Through the rest of
the season Arrows shared the back four grid slots with the Minardi
team and they did occasionally show some signs of advancement.
Only to be put back in their place by reliability.
